Ted Stevens is a capable, respected trial attorney whose drinking problem and impending divorce have sent him on a downward slide. His appointment as defense counsel in a high-profile murder case... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Lewis writes in a tight, clinical style which has trouble breathing. But he still tells an interesting story. The book is well worth reading. It is too bad Lewis hasn't yet received much deserved notice from mystery lovers.
Entertaining

The main character is a character that you hate to love. He has made such a mess of his life. As things get worse, he continues to make such bad choices. Despite the bad choices, the dumb things he does, I still couldn't help but like him.<P...The book is tight enough that the ending remains a surprise. I would recommend it.

I just finished reading this fantastic book for the third time and will read it again soon! The best I have read yet describing Tallahassee scenes to a "T"...having lived there many years ago, made me a bit "homesick!" Knew of many places Lewis described in his book - glad to see that some things haven't changed in this great City of Florida! The characters are interwoven in the suspense story that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the book and the ending is blockbuster material! A first book by a true Florida native and this reader has high hopes that it won't be his last!
I really enjoyed this book. A fun read.

A fun read and thriller - the legal aspects were accurate (for a change) and exciting. For a first book, very good. I hope he'll write more
